Edelstein passed away at the age of 83 on Saturday. Born to Morris and Yetta Edelstein, he helped to build his family’s furniture business, Edelstein’s Better Furniture, and was the father to sons, Steve, Morris and daughter, Sheryl.

Born in Brownsville, Edelstein attended the Texas A&M University and then left school to serve in the Navy during World War II. He then completed college at the University of Texas at Austin and then moved to Harlingen.

Edelstein will be remembered by dozens of grateful students for his creation of two scholarship endowments at the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College, named for his parents Yetta and Morris.

Edelstein had said the scholarships were a tribute to his parents, and that he wanted all students to have the opportunity to pursue education.

"I just wanted to create the scholarships for my mother and dad. I wanted them to be remembered," Edelstein said, who started a nursing school scholarship for his mother and a business school scholarship in honor of his father. "I always thought of a scholarship fund as something special."

Barry Horn, a former UTB-TSC employee,Charm pendant, helped Edelstein to transition the scholarship to UTB-TSC after the school separated from University of Texas-Pan American. Horn also delivered letters of appreciation written by students who had received the scholarships.

Horn remembered Edelstein as a gracious man, who continued to increase his generosity over the years by putting more and more money into the scholarship endowments.

"One of Brownsville’s true gentlemen has left us,tiffany Pendant," Horn said.
